The American Jewish Committee has come out in strong support of the proposed Indo-US nuclear co-operation agreement, and has urged the US lawmakers to vote for it. In a letter written to the members of the US Senate, the members of the American Jewish community said that the agreement would suit the interests of both India and the US, and would also advance the growing relationship between the two countries after nearly five decades of misunderstanding. They also said that the agreement would lessen India’s dependence on Middle East fossil fuels to meet accelerating energy needs. “We believe the overarching benefit of this agreement is strategic. After almost 50 years of misunderstanding, India and the United States are on a path of rapidly increasing co-operation that includes counter-terrorism and regional security efforts, and touches on many sectors – political, commercial, scientific and educational,” the Daily Times quoted the letter as saying. It added: “The US-India nuclear agreement will advance this growing relationship, and is profoundly in America’s national interest. Enhancements in India’s civil nuclear capabilities made possible by this agreement can be expected to lessen the country’s historic reliance on Middle East fossil fuels to meet accelerating energy needs.”
